Stranded

Kids love Eric Walters. Parents and teachers love Eric Walters. Even critics love Eric Walters. The author of "Stars", which won the Silver Birch Award and the Blue Heron Award and "Stand Your Ground", which was nominated for both of those same awards, has a winning reputation based on young readers' high approval and acclaim from critics. "Stranded" only adds to the accolades: this fast-paced story takes place on a remote island marine station, tossing together an unsure seventh grader trying to fit in with his classmates, a vicious storm, a real-life ghost - and a pod of pilot whales seemingly bent on self-destruction. A tautly written story that's perfect for its middle reader audience, "Stranded" is another Eric Walters winner.Walters, Eric is the author of 'Stranded' with ISBN 9780006385929 and ISBN 0006385923.
